Storyline

Cyclonus is making one of his usual journeys over Cybertron whilst on a mission, and is depressed by the site of his one beautiful home destroyed as it is now and he decides to make someone pay for it. Nearby, Ark-12 has just left Cybertron on the way to Garrus-9 where, where Sideswipe is moaning about wnating to go and save Sunstreaker still, which annoys Hound once again. Suddenly the ship is attacked by Cyclonus and they fire back at the powerful Transformer, and they seemingly destroy him. Hound has his team launch a buoy to mark his placement and contact a nearby team, as they're needed on Garrus-9 now. Suddenly Cyclonus is back and starts attacking again.
Nearby Ultra Magnus is called by Optimus Prime to come to Garrus-9 to investigate the Monstructor Six's kidnapping, he agrees to go, whilst on the way Ultra Magnus picks up a distress call from Ark-12 and redirects himself to help them.
On Garrus-9 Optimus and his team have arrived and they learned that one of the downed ships from the attack had a tortured member (obviously due to Arcee) and Optimus starts to set up base there. On Ark-32 in orbit round the planet Nightbeat has looked into his logs from his Gorlam Prime mission and doesn't remember any of it. He decides to head back to the planet and to take Hardhead with him for help.
Ark-12 is still under attack from Cyclonus, but Ultra Magnus arrives and scares off the Transformer, who turns back to his mission. Magnus and Hound's team go after Cyclonus. Arcee has infiltrated the Decepticon Battle Platform Zuska and tortures one of the crew men as to where Banzaitron took the Gestalt, he agrees to tell her everything.
Cyclonus arrives at Corata-Vaz and prepares to activate the Nega-Core and the Guardian, he does the first willingly, but doesn't want to activate the Guardian after what it did to Cybertron in the past, so he leaves the cave unguarded.
Upon leaving the cave he encounters Ultra Magnus and Hound's team and they begin to fight, and after being beaten down by them Cyclonus launches his hand into the cave and activates the Guardian, Thunderwing, who immediately starts attacking Magnus and Hound's team, Cyclonus leaves the planet to return home, whilst Magnus launches a tracking device to follow Cyclonus.
Magnus reports this to Optimus who wants Jetfire to find out what's in the cave and to summon the Wreckers to Corata-Vaz to take on Thunderwing. Meanwhile in the Benzuli Expanse Nemesis Prime and his new faction are preparing to complete their plans.

Notes

  • Cyclonus is still very patriotic about Cybertron, despite being gone for so long
  • Hound's team haven't replaced the deceased Leadfoot yet
  • Hound's ship is Ark-12
  • Cyclonus can launch his hand...ewwww
  • Skram isn't seen with the rest of his crew, this is most likely because he's needed on the ship still
  • Straxus and Grindcore are shown to be part of the Expansion faction as well.
  • Whilst reviewing the mission logs from Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat sees himself drawn the way he was in his Spotlight

My Thoughts

Art

The artwork is mostly standard in terms of the lines for the IDW continuity so far, but the colours are much more realistic than most earlier pieces

Story

This is the first part of the Revelation series that concludes the Dead Universe storyline

Continuity

Cybertron was devastated in Stormbringer. Hound's team was ordered to Earh and then Garrus-9 in Devastation. The Monstructor Six was kidnapped and Garrus-9 was attacked in Spotlight: Arcee.

Storyline

Nightbeat and Hardhead head out to Gorlam Prime and Nightbeat makes Hardhead promise that if he goes weird or it's like someone else is in control then he must kill him on sight. On Gorlam Prime Nightbeat notes that the planet has changed a lot since his last visit (from records) and that they are slowly becoming Cybertronian, and are currently in a frozen state. The two Autobots transform and look for more clues and head to the Excavation site he went to last time when they run into several Micromasters, who immediately attack the Autobots, and they go on the run from the tiny robots.
The Wreckers have arrived on Corata-Vaz and join Hound's team in attacking Thunderwing but aren't doing too well. Omega Supreme is able to identify Galvatron and Cyclonus as members of the original Ark's crew. Optimus recalls that it's destination was supposed to be the Benzuli Expanse, so they decide to investigate it.
In the Dead Universe Nemesis Prime is on-board the decaying Ark and thinking about how it's all going to end soon, and they can rejoin the living universe. Jhiaxus announced that the three Nega-Cores have all been activated and their Guardians as well, but also tells him that the Autobots have noticed all this, and have started attacking Thunderwing, and also that Nightbeat is on Gorlam Prime. Nemesis Prime is confident that Thunderwing can handle the Autobots, but has Jhiaxus deal with Nightbeat himself.
On Gorlam Prime the Autobots have reached Excavation Site 4, where Nightbeat went to last time, and have to keep outrunning Micromasters as well. The two Autobots enter the site when Nightbeat suddenly loses conciousness and Jhiaxus takes over his mind, points a gun between Hardhead's eyes and shoots it.
Arcee arrives in the Orcibe Cluster and finds Banzaitron's downed ship and learns that the Gestalt has been taken. Arcee goes to kill Banzaitron, but the Decepticon tells him that they tagged the component parts, so they know where they are, and invites Arcee to come with them to find Jhiaxus and Monstructor.
Back on Gorlam Prime, Hardhead reveals that his name is actually literal when he survive sthe point blank shot with just a mark to show. Hardhead goes on the run from Nightbeat and the now assembled Micromasters and winds up in the Silver Water room where Nightbeat/Jhiaxus explains that the water is a portal to the Dead Universe, and that by going through it he'll turn die and be connected to the Dead Universe as well.
Hardhead puts up his gun and shoots Nightbeat, killing him and the Micromasters attack, Hardhead goes under the water. In the Dead Universe Jhiaxus feels Nightbeat's death and screams. Nemesis Prime laments that this means that he has to kill Optimus himself now, rather than using Nightbeat to do it for him. Cloudburst and his team arrive at the Benzuli Expanse and find it gone, replaced with an anomaly and reports it to Jetfire, and also tells him that nothing they've sent into the hole has survived long enough for any telemetry, which gives Jetfire an idea.
At Garrus-9 Jetfire tells Optimus his plan to use the Pretender process on Cloudburst's team to investigate the anomaly,a nd he reluctantly agrees. Searchlight tells Optimus that he has Dealer on the line for him, and he takes the call, where Dealer suggests that they use the Magnificence to learn everything about this incident.

Notes

  • Nightbeat's primary goal as a sleeper agent is revealed to have been to kill Optimus Prime
  • SO MANY MICROMASTERS!!! ARGH!!!!
  • Optimus learns that the original Ark's original destination was the Benzuli Expanse here
  • The Ark is shown to be crumbling to pieces after millennia of exposure to the Dead Universe
  • Nightbeat's license plate says M1N-3RV4, which is a reference to his repaint Minerva
  • Gorlam Prime seems to be an experiment by Jhiaxus to recreate the universe in the Cybertronian image
  • Treadshot is seen dead on Banzaitron's ship...yet is later seen alive....
  • Hardhead has had to kill an ally before

My Thoughts

Art

The artwork in this comic is more cartoon-like that the rest of Revelation, as is Nick Roche's style, the colours are strong and well defined as well.

Story

This is part two of the Revelation storyline, and very swiftly puts an end to Nightbeat's storyline

Continuity

Nightbeat was made a sleeper agent in his own Spotlight, and the Micromasters were first shown there as well. Arcee catches up with the Secret Service, who kidnapped the Monstructor Six in Spotlight: Arcee, but finds them missing and the crew badly damaged. Dealer and the Magnificence's storyline was first introduced in Spotlight: Hot Rod. The Wreckers were last seen in Stormbringer

Other

Despite being seen before now, it is very apparent here that Nightbeat's character model and vehicle mode is based on Movie Jazz's

Storyline

Dealer heads to Earth and convinces Hot Rod to take him to where the Magnificence is, and he reluctantly agrees. Grindcore and Straxus arrive on Earth in China and set up a drill to mine the Ore-13 needed for the Expansion to take place. In the Benzuli Expanse, Cyclonus and Galvatron (and presumably others) patrol the perimeter and go after any ships that come close, including the Mirror-Manifold (Cloudburst's ship). Nemesis Prime arrives at Garrus-9 to kill Optimus but is met by a large detail of Autobot guards, but easily kills 2 of them. Optimus tells Fortress Maximus to call off his guards as he has to take on Nemesis Prime himself.
Hot Rod takes Dealer back to Ki-Aleta and they visit the Omega Bunker, where Hot Rod wonders what went wrong the first place, but he manages to convince Hot Rod to take them to where the Magnificence is. On board the Nightbird, the Technobots are finalizing the Pretender shells for Cloudburst's team and worry that they'll end up like Bludgeon did, and then recieve a distress signal from Cloudburst regarding Cyclonus. Jetfire gets the idea to use a duplicate of Bludgeon's Axis Cradle Override system to control Thunderwing like Bludgeon did in the past.
Optimus goes to confront Nemesis Prime at Garrus-9's sub levels, where Nemesis attacks Optimus with the Darkness causing him pain as he approaches him.
Back on Ki-Aleta Hot Rod is still questioning things and begins to wonder about Dealer's loyalty and starts to think how odd it was that Dealer was allowed to live that day. They reach the Magnificence and Hot Rod tests it, unaware that Dealer is about to shoot him in the back. Hot Rod asks the Magnificence if Dealer betrayed them, and it says "YES!". Hot Rod spins around and shoots Dealer off the cliff face and causes him to fall to his death.
Later Hot Rod contacts Ultra Magnus and relays all the information he gained from the Magnificence and explains that the thing in the cave is a Nega-Core and there are two more in Rotan and on Bhul (the Stellar Cartography Archive) and that Monstructor and Sixshot have also been made into Guardians as well as Thunderwing, he also reveals that Nemesis Prime's plan is to expand the Dead Universe everywhere. He also says that they're mining Earth for Ore-13 as well, and that the whole thig is being coordinated through a Space Bridge hub on Gorlam Prime.
On Gorlam Prime Jetfire is getting ready to take control of Thunderwing and lets Springer know, meanwhile Jhiaxus learns of this when Thunderwing starts being taken over and decides to take over Bludgeon's empty shell using another Axis Cradle to attack Jetfire (who is on the same planet remember)

Notes
  • Hot Rod hasn't found Sunstreaker yet, but has been beating up Headmasters
  • The Expansion are using Space Bridges to get to the different planets needed
  • Earth was needed by the Expansion for the Ore-13
  • Shockwave used to be Jhiaxus' understudy
  • Manta Ray is killed by a Necrotic Touch, much like his wave mate Leadfoot was
  • Hot Rod left the Magnificence on Ki-Aleta, where he found it
  • The Technobot's ship is called the Nightbird, after the G1 character
  • The Matrix has been corrupted by the Darkness
  • Dealer seems to be having second thoughts about his past actions in this story
  • Dealer considers keeping the Magnificence instead of giving it to the Secret Service (double dealing again)

My Thoughts

Art

The artwork in this comic is very detailed and the colours are very strong and detailed as well

Story

Storyline

Sideswipe and the rest of Hound's team arrive on Earth with Fortress Maximus and take on Straxus and Grindcore, to stop them from mining the Ore-13. Hound and Fort Max secure the Space Bridge whilst the others fight and Ultra Magnus coordinates the Autobot's attacks on the Expansion. Cloudburst's team are rescued at the last second from Cyclonus and brought aboard the Nightbird where they are equipped with their Pretender Shells and head out to both take out Cyclonus and invade the Dead Universe.
Jetfire has taken command of Thunderwing, allowing the Wreckers to get into the cave and approach the Nega-Core, however Bludgeon, under the control of Jhiaxus enters the room where Jetfire is working and distracts him, freeing Thunderwing again. In the sub-levels of Garrus-9 Nemesis Prime and Optimus are fighting with Nemesis currently winning by using the Darkness. Neither Prime know that they are being watched.
On Earth Hound and the others head through the Space Bridge to complete their missions whilst Sideswipe stays to beat up the two Expansion Transformers. Skram is sent to Rotan to collect Arcee, who is fighting Monstructor along with the Decepticon Secret Service. On Garrus-9 Jetfire works out that Jhiaxus isn't able to handle controlling all the Guardians and isn't able to concentrate on every target, especially now that the Pretenders have defeated Cyclonus and have entered the Dead Universe as well.
The Autobots move the Nega-Cores through the Space Bridges and send them into the Dead Universe, whilst Skram escorts Arcee to Gorlam Prime through the Space Bridge and she immediately starts attacking Jhiaxus. Optimus is losing his fight, when suddenly Nemesis Prime is killed by Galvatron and the Darkness seeps into Optimus. Galvatron approaches Optimus and offers to take the Darkness from him, which he agrees to, however once it is gone Optimus flings Galvatron into a Solar Pool, seemingly killing him.
The Pretenders gather the Nega-Cores in the Dead Universe into one location and leaves it, the Cores explode and destroys the Dead Universe, sealing off the Anomaly as well. On Gorlam Prime Arcee is tearing through the Micromasters as Jhiaxus runs away from her, but just as he reaches the safety of the silver water Hardhead rises out of it, and prevents him from hiding. Arcee skewers the Transformer.
On Garrus-9 Optimus looks at his predecessor and says he won't mourn him, as Nova Prime died when Nemesis Prime was born. On Earth Sideswipe looks at the now dead Straxus and Grindcore and decides that he doesn't need to catch up to Sunstreaker to prove anything to him, so he just leaves the planet. In Gorlam Prime Arcee finds out that she can't actually kill Jhiaxus in this place since he's un-dead, but that suits her as she's able to just keep killing him over and over again.
After a while Gorlam Prime is returned to normal and the denizens start to call it Cybertron, and then as Jetfire reveries over the future adventures as he watches the new Cybertron Galvatron starts to climb out of the Solar Pool.

Notes

  • Sideswipe is the only member of his team to take on an Earth mode in this story, this is most likely because he planned to stay on Earth after the current mission.
  • The Technobots perfect the Pretender Process in a span of less than 2 issues? Yeah....
  • Jetfire borrows Bludgeon's Axis Cradle design to control Thunderwing and Jhiaxus does the same with Bludgeon's body.
  • Despite the pretender shells the Dead Universe still affects the Autobot Pretenders
  • The Matrix is cleansed of the Darkness by it first jumping into Optimus after Nova Prime's death and then transferring into Galvatron
  • It's not shown here, but Optimus must take the Matrix from Nova Prime's body
  • Hardhead has now joined the Dead Universe by jumping in the silver pool before.
  • It's never revealed what happens to Nova Prime's body
  • Sunstreaker and Sideswipe aren't really brothers, Sunstreaker was basically his superior officer who kept making him feel insignificant, and the reason why he wanted to rescue him was because he wanted to show off to Sunstreaker.
  • Gorlam Prime being an organic world with organic life becoming robots is oddly similar to the Go-Bots storyline....

My Thoughts

Art

The artwork in this comic is simply beautiful, the character models and colours combined are made to look very realistic, and yet still feels like a G1 series rather than being Live Action based.

Story

This concludes the Revelation series, and most of the first storyline's plot points.

Continuity

Sideswipe began trying to get to Earth since Spoltight: Galvatron, now that he's here..he just leaves at the end. The Autobots have perfected the Pretender Process since it's faulty introduction in Stormbringer and is later used again to revive Kup in the All Hail Megatron's Coda. Arcee finally catches Jhiaxus, after starting in Spotlight: Arcee. The Dead Universe is destroyed here, and ends it's threat for now, with most of it's members dying on the spot. Gorlam Prime starts to resemble Cybertron more, and will be returned to in Heart of Darkness. Galvatron's revival takes place in All Hail Megatron's Coda and Heart of Darkness. Nova Prime/Nemesis Prime reappears in a manner in Heart of Darkness. The Rise of the Machination Empire and Shockwave's Resurgence happens in Maximum Dinobots, and Megatron's All-Out Assault happens in All Hail Megatron.
